Former Leeds boss Jesse Marsch is no longer in contention to become the new Leicester manager after the American decided to withdraw from the recruitment process over the weekend.
There was optimism from both parties that a deal to install Marsch as the club's new manager would be agreed after the Foxes stepped up their search for a successor to Brendan Rodgers, who left the King Power Stadium by mutual consent last Sunday.
Marsch is unattached after being sacked by Leeds back in February and was close to an agreement with Leicester, who, like his old side, are currently fighting to preserve their Premier League status.
